Nanotechnology in Defence

Nano-Battlesuit

• Soldiers need to carry around a lot of heavy equipment’s. Also, their clothing does not give them a foolproof protection from bullets. Many Nanotechnology R&D departments are rigorously involved in developing “nano-battlesuit.”
• This battlesuit could be as thin as a stretchy polyurethane fabric and contain health monitors and communication equipment.
• Energy for communication could be generated by normal body movements.
• Additionally, this material would provide strength far better than the currently available materials and also facilitate effective protection from bullets.

Nano-sensors

• Nanotechnology allows smaller sensors which could find applications in various segments. For instance, integrating these nano-sensors ....
